I was working at the store on the Sony studios in Culver City. And I was literally holding a shirt when they came in and told me I'd got the part! It just shows dreams do come true.

I get to be in movies where it's mostly dialogue, and I want to be in something, that for me, feels like kickboxing.

The miracle of birth is divine.

From the time they get up in the morning and flush the toilet, they're taxed. Then they go and get the cup of coffee, they're taxed....This goes on all day long. Tax, tax, tax.

Not everything worth keeping has to be useful.

It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable.

I'm the kind of guy who only makes a mistake once, never twice.
